Investment Opportunity

The support that I need from the investor would be for: implementation tools, labour mobilization and site survey, salaries, site office rents and expenses.

I intend setting up a business comprising the following verticals:1. Fibre optic and jelly filled cable networks and related supply items for various government departments, especially the defence sector; 2. Transmission and Distribution lines for the Energy sector in India.

I have been in Telecom and Energy sectors for the last 18 years. My experience being Indian and Global currently I am the Chief Operating Officer for India and South East Asia in a company and I am responsible for the P&L of the organization. I have been in the P&L role for last ten years in India and abroad.

Currently I make about $20 million of business annually for my organization with an EBIDTA of about $6 million.

I had a discussion with most of my customers who would be more than happy to place orders with my new company; so at a very conservative level I am looking at generating $3 million in the first year with an EBIDTA of $600,000. Broadly the fibre part of the business has a margin of 25% and the transmission part of the business has a margin of 30-35%.

I don’t have to do any market research and hit and trial because I have readily available customers and orders. If some investors support me I can start getting orders three months from now and at a very conservative level we will break even in the year and a half.

Competitive Advantage

So the value that I bring on the table is as follows:

1. I have been doing the same business as an employee for the last 18 years2. I do not have to look or customers; I have readymade customers and orders.3. I do not have to set up an organization; I have a readymade execution team that has been doing the same job for the last so many years; my customers are very comfortable with my executing team.4. I have been executing and collecting payments from the same customers for so many years; so I face no collection issues.
